I gave it another try. With both windows open, it appears that when I delete the rtl8192cufw.bin file from one, it deletes them from both. Also, when I tried moving rtl8192cufw_A.bin and rtl8192cufw_B.bin, I see that they reside in both directories. Moving or copying them gives me an error ("Can't move a file to itself" more or less). And like before, deleting them from one deletes them from both.

At this point, I think I'll just get a Slacko-approved USB adapter unless the PAE version of 5.7 is the way to go.

Have recently started using obprecise 14.07.26 Chromebook Pup. Brilliant distro; works extremely well on my desktop PC, connecting via Ethernet.

I'd love to install this on my old Dell laptop. I've tried the LiveCD on the Dell (an elderly Inspiron 1100 ), and it works perfectly. I'm already running Tahrpup 6.02 on the 1100, and it's just amazing. I connect via a TP-Link WN725-N wireless adapter (v.2) using the Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset, and the r8188eu driver for this is included in Tahrpup by default.

rcrsn51 has already let me have a Slacko 5.70 version of this driver (many thanks for that). Is it possible that there's a version of this driver floating around that would work in Chromebook Pup? Failing that, would it be possible to add this driver module to the OS by some other means?

Excellent value for just £5.99 off eBay. Despite being old-fashioned, there appears to be no end of these, brand-new, still floating around the web. Good range; works very well with our BT router's triple-MIMO array, and still reports a strong signal down the very bottom of our back garden, where my TP-Link 'nano' adapter is just starting to drop off. Connects easily via SNS or 'Dougal's' Network Wizard. Thoroughly recommended if you have an available PCMCIA slot. The 'ath5k' driver has seemingly been around since, like.....forever!

I packaged and uploaded a zip file of
mrv8335.inf 21K
MRV8335XP.sys 265K

extracted from about 4MB of exe file from driverguide which I could find no
way to unpackage and had to install in MicroXP (where it does not work because
of no wifi support) and it required an internet connection to install which meant
I had to get an ethernet card working in XP first.

In MicroXP it said to disable the Windows wireless zero utility to use
its own configuration utility, which then insisted the card was unplugged.

The card works well with ndiswrapper in lupu 5.2.5. From 2005, pre WPA2.

Gigafast of course no longer has the driver.
Only Driverguide. Links at other places are broken.
